Olmert's Medical Condition

News Update: Hadassah hospital: Nefesh Yehudi (A Jewish Soul) Detected in PM

Surgeons at Hadassah hospital in Ein Kerem announced yesterday that a small Nefesh Yehudi had been detected in PM Olmert yesterday. The Nefesh is microscopic, and is not expected to cause any problems such as interfering with plans to expel 80,000 Jews from their homes in Judea and Samaria. However, to be safe, the doctors decided to remove it.

Course on Blogging

I'm evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they're letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.

It covers:

  • The best blogging techniques.
  • How to get traffic to your blog.
  • How to turn your blog into money.

I'll let you know what I think once I've had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it's still free.

Hands Across Israel: Give the Knesset to the Palestinians

An initiative that the entire country can agree on: give the Knesset to the Palestinians. Some advanges:
Immediate drop in the number of tax evaders.
Immediate drop in statistics for a variety of criminal offenses, mostly white collar crime, but also ties to the Mafia, sexual assault against female employees.
Increase to the robustness of the economy as it no longer has to sink tens, probably hundreds, of millions of dollars a year annually into salaries, pensions, building upkeep, etc.
Revived national spirit.
Renewed hope, optimism, a feeling of freshness and rebirth cutting across all political lines.
A revived economy as hundreds of millions of dollars given annually to the Palestinian Authority is invested into upgrading the lives of Israeli citizens.
Dramatic decrease in secret military information being passed on to Hizbollah.
Cessation of weaponry being supplied to the Palestinian Authority.
Implementation of laws against aiding and colluding with the enemy.
Eradication of state-sponsored anti-Semitism.
Gradual introduction of Jewsh ideas, Jewish history and Jewish culture into the school system.
A multi-cultural effort of inclusiveness in regard to Ethiopians, religious Jews, and members of the Likud party.
Elimination of inflammatory calls for violence against political opponents.
An end to illegal measures taken against political opponents.
Making use of the army for the defense of Jews, not for tearing down Jewish communities.
Allowing the use of military activities for the purpose of saving Jewish lives from terrorist activities.
The introduction of democratic and republican practices.
Benefit to the environment, due to the decrease of hot air emissions.

All Knesset members and senior members of the government will be given a handsome stipend, consisting of a free home in Sderot and a pension equal to that received by Holocaust survivors
